71st Annual Members' Exhibition

October 11 - November 24, 2018

Opening Reception, Thursday, October 11, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Awards Ceremony 6:15 PM

The most popular tradition in the history of the Quinlan, the 71st Annual Members' Exhibition showcases the work of the myriad of member-artists from Gainesville and surrounding North Georgia Communities, Atlanta and the Southeast. Each year of celebration marks yet another season of unparalleled excellence in visual arts programming and celebrates the artists that contribute to that level of excellence. The exhibition will be on view through November 24th and is a dazzling and eclectic array of art in all media including landscapes, abstracts, still life compositions, portraits, ceramics, wood turnings and much, much more.

The opening reception will be Thursday, October 11th from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. Juror Christopher Dant, Assistant Professor of Photography at the University of North Georgia will award ribbons for Best of Show, First, Second, and Third places as well as several Honorable Mentions.

Chris Dant (b. Columbus, OH) is a visual artist who explores the ideas of empathy, shared experience, family history and loss through the use of the photographic medium. Chris received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas in 2012 and his Master in Fine Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2016. In 2015, he was commissioned by the South Bend Museum of Art to travel around the state of Indiana and photographically document the still existing projects constructed by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) in the 1930s and 40s. This work was recently added to the South Bend Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection.  In addition, Dant has recently exhibited his work in New York City and received the Walter R. Beardsley Award for Best in Show, for his MFA Thesis Exhibition, Worthy Sons, from the Snite Museum of Art in Notre Dame, Indiana. After graduate school, Chris found his way back to the University of North Texas, where he held an adjunct position teaching the Advanced Darkroom course. In the Spring of 2017, he accepted the position of Assistant Professor of Photography at the University of North Georgia, in Dahlonega, Georgia, where he currently resides. You can find Chris hiking around the mountains of north Georgia, making photographs and looking for rocks to climb and a good watering hole to swim in.
